How can I interact with this file and calculate the amount of digits, while also excluding the commas?

you could remove the commas and then get the length of the string

!e

print(len("80,995,899".replace(",", "")))

Right now the file looks like this.

How do I even calculate it?

Like where do I write the code.

[restive jungle]

uh

in a file?

have you ever used python before?

[calm bloom]

Yes

But

[restive jungle]

well then

[calm bloom]

I'm not too well with

text files

This is read only

[restive jungle]

you need to read the text file into a string.

[calm bloom]

ok so I made an index.py

[restive jungle]

e.g

>>> with open("/var/folders/b0/_p0c_57s5n90cy4njdgd8vhw0000gq/T/x/message.txt") as inf:
...   numbers = inf.read()
...   print(len(numbers.replace(",", "")))
... 
10

[calm bloom]

hmmm yeah, I figured we'd need to use open here.

Okay one moment.

Do I need to import anything, btw?

[restive jungle]

no

[calm bloom]

okay.

[restive jungle]

this is homework, isn't it

[calm bloom]

Nope.

My friend just randomly told me

"Go calculate this" 💀

[thorn marten]

how much python u know

[calm bloom]

Well uh

I made a rock paper scissors bot

with

well not bot

just code

2 real people playing it.

That's probably my biggest achievement so far.

Okay it worked.

Thanks!
